Chair’s Corner

Jennifer Hanley, Chair
It is an honor and a privilege to kick off 2025 as Chair of Women in Aerospace. Since joining WIA’s board, I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside many talented individuals, and I am excited to lead this dynamic organization over the next few years.
My fantastic boss introduced me to WIA years ago and I’ve never looked back. WIA plays an invaluable role in fostering connections, growth, and mentorship for women leaders and allies in the aerospace community.
